"The Path To Decay (Vlad Dracula, #2) (The Dracula Chronicles, #2)" by Shane K.P. O'Neill is yet another dark masterpiece of what is probably best described as historical horror.It is the second part in a series about Vlad Dracula, son of the late Vlad Dracul, and follows his 'path to decay' or rather his path into the realms of darkness. Having been selected by Lucifer as his tool in the battle of good vs evil, he is destined for greatness, although he is not quite there, yet.Following his fath [...]

Dracula stands ready to walk THE PATH TO DECAY in Shane K.P. O’Neill’s latest addition to the saga. After the fall of Vlad Dracul, his son and namesake vows revenge on those responsible for the deaths of his family and the destruction of his homeland.The foundation established in the previous novel is strongly built upon. Still young but no longer a child, now a warrior but not yet a ruler, Dracula has grown into a man hardened by experience and covertly nurtured by evil. Virtually flawless [...]

Having finished For Whom the Bells Toll a few days before, I was eager to get my hands on its sequel, the second prequel to The Dracula Chronicles. Having to wait several days for my copy to arrive, I wasn’t disappointed by this most recent instalment which has been excruciatingly bitter-sweet and deeply enjoyable. O’Neill has an acute ability to build up characters, and having followed the young Vlad III (now donning the name Dracula) from his birth, the readers begin to watch his decent do [...]

The Path To Decay (Vlad Dracula, #2) (The Dracula Chronicles, #2) by Shane K.P. O'Neill is the brilliant sequel to For Whom the Bell Tolls. This dark, Gothic slice of Historical Horror squeezes every drop of blood from each gory page with extreme relish. The forces of darkness led by Lucifer continue to fight the angelic forces for the souls of the dead rotting on the battlefields of Eastern Europe. Here the reader is left in awe at the author's wonderful descriptions of bloody battle after bloo [...]

Once again, Shane brings to us the terror known only as Vlad the Impaler before his service to Lucifer. These are the terrible ruler's young dark days that begin his rise to fame. With the loss of his father, mother, and older brother, Vlad is driven by revenge to strike down not only his father's former allies but to eventually take down the Turks who set Dracul on his doomed path. Of course, the Prince of Darkness is in the shadows watching and molding Dracula for his ultimate destiny revealed [...]

Vlad Dracula is without doubt a product of his time. His hugely violent life has had to deal with the death of his father and the loss of his throne. When Vlad Tepes is described in history, he seems like an utter monster but within the story shane O'Neill tells, it's easy to see why.They were particularly blood thirsty times, that Vlad Dracula driven by revenge, hatred and intelligence in battle has to strive to regain his throne. His path to decay is helped along the way by his guardian fallen [...]

This story is rich in medieval politics, battle tactics, and the war in Heaven. Deposed powers are all fighting to regain their old glories, and death and despair run rampant. A slight cliffhanger at the end has me dying to read the next book! Loved it!
